he thought hadiya pendleton was with a member or members of a rival gang in that park when he opened fire. he was of course mistaken. it was hadiya who had just finished final examines and she was with a number of friends from school. he said he got out of a car, walked up, and shot into the crowd of people, and then apparently got away with the help of williams. they were trying to retaliate against a gang who had shot williams the prior year, and in that case, according to the superintendent mccarthy, they actually made an arrest and caught williams' assailant, but he refused to press charges. back to the anti-snitching theme we talked about at the top of the hour. it was pervasive in this case, and one other point they pointed out is that ward, the 18-year-old, was actually arrested for a gun violation, possession of an illegal firearm, in january of 2011. and if the stronger gun laws were on the books, the ones they're pushing for at the state level here in illinois, he would have been in jail, and hadiya pendleton would be alive. >> ted, i appreciate the update. joining us now f
